Jo was persuaded to plead guilty to false accounting but her case should never have come to court.Here in part 1, Jo talks about how her nightmare unfolded. Noticing a shortfall in her accounts one night, she rang the Horizon helpdesk only for her deficit to double before her eyes. Soon she was in debt, facing prosecution from the Post Office and a possible jail sentence. Her village might have rallied round but her ordeal was only just beginning. Hosted on Acast.
